Timezones incorrect

[anon18087080]

I’m currently trying to solve a worrying issue with live chat. More on that shortly if there is no resolution.

In the live chat it has my support agent as being in France and it says it is 1021 there. It isn’t, it is 921. Seems like a bug to me.

Come on, you can’t just drop a bomb like that and then stay silent. Please do tell!

Yeah it works to GMT and currently doesn’t adjust to BST. Slightly frustrating, not sure if a fix is coming.

Monzo so far

Can confirm, we calculate this and many other date boundaries on UTC to avoid issues with time zone changes. It’s not a 100% ideal solution (especially with Spent Today while abroad) but it does avoid whole classes of bugs until we’re ready to tackle the issue properly.

Nothing to do with that I think - the whole chat UI is provided by Intercom, a third-party.

FYI, this came up in another thread

We’re in the midst of a HUGE rewrite of our live chat system to bring all of the tooling in-house so that we don’t need to rely on third-party tools

what DMs are for.

Isn’t that the same thing? Thanks for making me feel rather small

in the past people had said it was UK GMT but Monzo staff corrected them and stressed it was UTC instead, they implied there is some difference when it comes to working out time zones even if in UK it is the same
